Headsets
Although Cisco performs internal testing of third-party headsets for use with Cisco Cius, Cisco does not certify
or support products from headset or handset vendors.
Cisco Cius reduces some background noise that is detected by a headset microphone, but if you want to further
reduce the background noise and improve the overall audio quality, use a noise-canceling headset.
Cisco Cius Administration Guide, Release 9.2(4)
6OL-27284-01
Setting Up Cisco Cius
Headsets

Cisco recommends the use of good-quality external devices, for example, headsets that are screened against
unwanted radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals. Depending on the quality of headsets and
their proximity to other devices such as mobile (cell) phones and two-way radios, some noise or echo may
still occur. A hum or buzz may be heard either by the remote party or by both the remote party and Cisco Cius
user. Humming or buzzing sounds can be caused by a range of outside sources; for example, electric lights,
electric motors, or large PC monitors. See the Using External Devices, on page 10, for more information.
In some cases, you can reduce or eliminate hum by using a local power cube or power injector.Note
These environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations where Cisco Cius are deployed means that
there is not a single headset solution that is optimal for all environments.
Cisco recommends that customers test headsets in their intended environment to determine performance before
making a purchasing decision and deploying them system wide.
Audio Quality Subjective to the User
Beyond the physical, mechanical, and technical performance, the audio portion of a headset must sound good
to the user and to the party on the far end. Sound quality is subjective and Cisco cannot guarantee the
performance of any headsets. However, a variety of headsets from leading headset manufacturers are reported
to perform well with Cisco devices. See manufacturer sites for details.
Wired Headsets
Cisco Cius supports 3.5 mm single plug headsets. To connect a wired headset to Cisco Cius, plug it in to the
headset port on the bottom of Cisco Cius to place and answer calls using the headset. Single plug wired
headsets may also be plugged into the headset port, located on the left side of the media station.
You can use the wired headset with all of the features on Cisco Cius, including the Volume and Mute buttons.
Use these buttons to adjust the earpiece volume and to mute the speech path from the headset microphone.
If the headset is analog, see the for the procedure on configuring the wideband codec.
Bluetooth Wireless Headsets
Cisco Cius supports Bluetooth Version 2.1+EDR technology when the headsets support Bluetooth. Bluetooth
enables low-bandwidth wireless connections within a range of 30 feet (10 meters). The best performance is
in the 3- to 6-foot range (1 to 2 meters). You can pair five or more headsets, but only the last one connected
is used as the default.
There can be a potential interference issues. Cisco recommends that you reduce the proximity of other 802.11b/g
devices, Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, and large metal objects. If possible, configure other 802.11
devices to use the 802.11a channels.
For a Bluetooth wireless headset to work, it does not need to be within direct line-of-sight of the Cisco Cius
device, but some barriers, such as walls or doors, and interference from other electronic devices could affect
the connection.
Adding a Bluetooth Wireless Headset to Cisco Cius
By default, Bluetooth is enabled for Cisco Cius on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Cisco Cius Administration Guide, Release 9.2(4)
OL-27284-01 7
Setting Up Cisco Cius
Headsets

To disable Bluetooth from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, choose Device > Phone. In the
Find and List Phones window, enter the search criteria for the Cisco Cius device that you want to modify,
and then select Find. On the Product Specific Configuration Layout portion of the Phone Configuration
window, scroll down to Bluetooth, click on the Down Arrow and select Disabled.
Note
With Bluetooth enabled on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, follow these steps to add the headset
as an accessory to Cisco Cius:
Procedure
Step 1 Place the headset into discovery/pairing mode.
The procedure for placing a headset into discovery/pairing mode is specific to the headset. Please
see headset manufacturer’s instructions regarding pairing procedure.
The headset must be in discovery/pairing mode for Cisco Cius to successfully pair and connect to
the device.
Note
Step 2 Enable Bluetooth and Bluetooth settings on Cisco Cius, if they are not already enabled.
To verify whether Bluetooth and Bluetooth settings are enabled, from Cisco Cius Main Screen, press the
Menu key and choose Settings >Wireless & networks >Bluetooth settings.
You can tell that the Bluetooth wireless headset is enabled if there is a check mark next to Bluetooth
in the Bluetooth Settings dialog box.
If Airplane Mode is enabled, then the Bluetooth and Bluetooth settings are disabled.
Note
Step 3 Select Scan for devices.
After the Bluetooth device is located, its name appears in the window.
Cisco Cius automatically tries to pair with the headset by using a PIN of 0000. If the headset uses a different
PIN, enter the correct PIN by referring to the user guide that came with the headset.
Cisco recommends that users read the headset user guide for more information about pairing and
connecting the headsets.
If pairing is unsuccessful, Cisco Cius prompts you to enter the correct PIN.
Note
After Cisco Cius has the correct PIN, it tries to connect to the accessory. Cisco Cius provides feedback to the
user while it is trying to connect the accessory. If Cisco Cius cannot connect, it displays an error alert to let
the user know the reason for the failure. A timeout of 10 seconds occurs for the Cisco Cius device to try to
connect the accessory. If the timer expires without a successful connection, an error alert is shown.
Cisco Cius connects with headsets using a shared key authentication and encryption method. Cisco Cius can
be connected with five or more headsets at a time. The last one connected is used as the default. Pairing is
typically performed once for each headset.
After a device has been paired, its Bluetooth connection is maintained as long as both devices (Cisco Cius
and headset) are enabled and within range of each other. The connection typically reestablishes itself
automatically if either of the devices powers down and then powers up. However, some headsets require user
action to reestablish the connection.
The Bluetooth status indicator indicates whether or not a device is connected.
When headset is out of range from the Cisco Cius, Bluetooth drops the connection after a 15- to 20-second
timeout. If the paired headset comes back into range of Cisco Cius (and Cisco Cius is not connected to another
Bluetooth headset), the in-range Bluetooth headset automatically reconnects. The user may have to wake-up
the headset by tapping on its operational button to begin the reconnect process.

Advanced Audio Distribution (A2DP) Profile
Cisco Cius supports A2DP streaming audio from a music player to a Bluetooth headset that supports A2DP.
A2DP can be disabled by the user. From the Bluetooth devices submenu, select the connected headset and
choose Options >Disable A2DP.
Hands-Free Profile
Cisco Cius supports various hands-free profile features that enable you to use hands-free devices (such as
Bluetooth wireless headsets) to perform certain tasks without having to handle the Cisco Cius device. For
example, instead of tapping Redial on Cisco Cius, users can redial a number from their Bluetooth wireless
headset according to instructions from the headset manufacturer.
These typical hands-free features apply to Bluetooth wireless headsets that are used with Cisco Cius:
• Ring notification
• Answer a call
• End a call
• Volume control
• Last number redial
• Call waiting notification
Cisco Cius Administration Guide, Release 9.2(4)
OL-27284-01 9

Headsets

• Divert/Reject
• Three-way call handling
• Speed dialing
Hands-free devices may differ in how features are activated. Device manufacturers may also use different
terms when referring to the same feature.
For more information, see the manufacturer documentation.
Important Note about Headset Types
Only one headset type works at any given time, so if you have both a Bluetooth headset and an analog headset
attached to the Cisco Cius device, enabling the Bluetooth headset disables the analog headset. To enable the
analog headset, disable the Bluetooth headset.
Using External Devices
Cisco recommends the use of good-quality external devices that are shielded (screened) against unwanted
radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals.
Depending on the quality of these devices and their proximity to other devices such as mobile phones or
two-way radios, some audio noise may still occur. In these cases, Cisco recommends that you take one or
more of the following actions:
• Move the external device away from the source of the RF or AF signals.
• Route the external device cables away from the source of the RF or AF signals.
• Use shielded cables for the external device, or use cables with a better shield and connector.
• Shorten the length of the external device cable.
• Apply ferrites or other such devices on the cables for the external device.
Cisco cannot guarantee the performance of the system because Cisco has no control over the quality of external
devices, cables, and connectors. The system performs adequately when suitable devices are attached using
good-quality cables and connectors.
In European Union countries, use only external headsets that are fully compliant with EMC Directive
89/336/EC.
Caution
Video Displays
Cisco Cius supports external display devices through the micro-HDMI port on the bottom of the device.
Connect a monitor to the device by inserting one end of an HDMI cable into the micro-HDMI port and the
other end into a monitor HDMI port. The Cisco Cius media station connects to an external monitor through
a DisplayPort connection.
